Oh my goodness! Unless you are a Tree of Life developer, you really shouldn't be here. This page is part of our beta test site, where we develop new features for the ToL, often messing up a thing or two in the process. Please visit the official version of this page, which is available here.

Containing group: Salticidae

Introduction

A tentative grouping of neotropical salticids. One feature they share with the synemosynines is the curling of the embolus around the top of the cymbium when the embolus is long enough. Like the synemosynines, they also often wave the first pair of legs prominently, but they are otherwise not so ant-like as the synemosynines. It would not be surprising should it turn out that the synemosynines are derived from hyetussines.
